I was not sure how to classify the status of this request. The request was very broad. The applicant had not paid a fee so the request was still an informal request. The authority told the applicant that much information is available on the authority website and also asked the applicant to consider contacting the agency to limit the scope of the request. Nothing has happened after this, so I have maked the request as "refused".
